2014 Intro: Kameron Chatman hearing from Michigan

Michigan was at Cal Poly High School last week to watch Kameron Chatman, a talented swingman in the class of 2014. Chatman is a versatile player who stood out for Portland ICP this summer on the EYBL circuit. The 6-foot-7 wing can do a bit of everything with the ball and is already drawing high-major interest and offers from a number of west coast schools. The top-50 prospect talked to UMHoops to provide a quick update about his recruitment, what he thinks of Michigan and more.

Can you describe your game?

I like to get my teammates in the game and work off my teammates. Using the advantages that I have and the size if I have a smaller defender on me probably posting up if I have a bigger defender getting around him and getting up a shot.

How did the AAU season go playing for Portland ICP?

We played int he EYBL, so that was a very tough, brutal league to play in, so the summer was pretty good. We started off well but then ended up not making it to Peach Jam. We went to Vegas and went 6-1 and made it to the semifinals so we did pretty good down there. All in all, it was pretty good summer.

When did Michigan first see you?

I believe it was in Vegas.

And who came to watch you?

Jeff Meyer.

What skills were you working on improving this summer?

Just getting stronger and being more of a leader, everything, really. Just more consistency on my shot.

You’ve been compared to Jalen Rose. Is that a fair comparison?

I’ve seen the documentary on him but I’ve never seen him play. A lot of people tell me that, though. So I don’t know.
